Systems and methods for identifying events within video content using intelligent search query

#The present application is related to filed on Feb. 17, 2020 and entitled SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEARCHING FOR EVENTS WITHIN VIDEO CONTENT, and filed on Feb. 17, 2020, and titled SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EFFICIENTLY SENDING VIDEO METADATA.

#The present disclosure relates generally to video management systems, and more particularly, to video management systems that utilize intelligent video queries.

#Known video management systems (VMS) used in security surveillance and the like can include a plurality of cameras. In some cases, video management systems are used to monitor areas such as, for example, banks, stadiums, shopping centers, airports, and the like. In some cases, video management systems may store captured video content locally and/or remotely, sometimes using one or more video management servers. Searching the video content for one or more events can be resource intensive. What would be desirable is a more efficient way of capturing, organizing and/or processing video content to help identify one or more events in the captured video.

#The disclosure may be more completely understood in consideration of the following description of various examples in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

#FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an illustrative video management system having an illustrative cloud tenant within a cloud in communication with one or more remotely located sites;

#FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of the illustrative cloud tenant of FIG. 1;

#While the disclosure is amenable to various modifications and alternative forms, specifics thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and will be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the intention is not to limit the disclosure to the particular examples described. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the disclosure.

#The following description should be read with reference to the drawings, in which like elements in different drawings are numbered in like fashion. The drawings, which are not necessarily to scale, depict examples that are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Although examples are illustrated for the various elements, those skilled in the art will recognize that many of the examples provided have suitable alternatives that may be utilized.

#All numbers are herein assumed to be modified by the term “about”, unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. The recitation of numerical ranges by endpoints includes all numbers subsumed within that range (e.g., 1 to 5 includes 1, 1.5, 2, 2.75, 3, 3.80, 4, and 5).
